Epic may refer to any of the following:

1. The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) was established in 1994 by David Banisar, Marc Rotenberg and David Sobel as a public interest group. It is centered in Washington D.C. and draws public attention on the emerging civil liberties issues and privacy protection, the First Amendment, and constitutional values in the information age. EPIC works on all of this by utilizing privacy research, public education, litigation, and publications. At times, the group has been criticized for taking an extreme position on privacy matters.

EPIC's website is located at epic.org. It makes available publications such as "Privacy and Human Rights", "Litigation Under the Federal Open Government Laws", "The Privacy Law Sourcebook" and "The Consumer Law Sourcebook". The group, a non-profit Public Charity, receives funding from the sale of these publications, as well as from donations and grants.
